The man oversaw the university during a time that black people were not allowed to attend the University.

the fact that the great players from the University of Alabama play in a Stadium named after a man that would not allow black people into his university is an absolute and utter disgrace.

Now is the time to fix this obvious mistake in history.

Best of luck to the good people from the great state of Alabama.

WTF is wrong with LSU fans. This is around the tenth type of post I've seen calling out another university for this stupid shite. And it always seems to be either Bama or Clemson. It's not a good look.

Actually George Hutchison Denny is responsible for the legacy of a large Jewish student population at Alabama, particularly from Manhattan/New England. In 1932 Alabama, there were four Jewish fraternities, two Jewish sororities and one Italian fraternity.

He saw the importance of having a national football program and marketed the university in New York/New England area newspapers and magazines as a great alternative to schools up north.
It's not uncommon to run into a student at Alabama from New York/New England area and them tell you they are legacies and their family has been going to Alabama for a century.

The irony is that a very large percentage of the Black players on the Alabama teams would not be admitted to Alabama without their athletic skills. Plus, UA keeps its standards lower to avoid having the same small percentage of Blacks that schools like Auburn and UGA, and UF have.

“Sarcasm alert”

Add in the fact that they put up statues to the overpaid white slave masters outside the stadium and none to the black athletes who toiled inside. They should burn the whole place to the ground.

First the OP says "black people"... then the OP responds to a post and say "people of color."
